About this property

Colorful Artistic Cabin in Canyon Lake! Only 5 minutes from the lake and river!

Enter a colorful and inspiring world of warm coziness and luxurious splendor. This gorgeous space is beautifully furnished with tasteful artistic touches. It offers peace of mind, tranquility, spaciousness, and inspiration. (PLEASE NOTE: WE JUST ADDED A SMART TV!)

Our Colorful Artistic Home has its own small open yard space with a fire table and chairs, a charcoal grill, and a bar table with stools. It also has parking for up to two vehicles and potential parking for truck and boat trailers.

Centered in the heart of Canyon Lake and close to restaurants, bars, White Water Amphitheater, grocery stores, and more! We are only a five-minute drive from the best swimming spot on Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River and only twenty-five minutes from Gruene, New Braunfels, and Wimberley.

Colorful Artistic Cabin is tucked away at the back of our private four-acre property and close to the gorgeous Canyon Lake Dam, which is only a one-minute drive or ten-minute walk away. Visitors come from all over to walk, cycle, run or dance across this 1-mile-long dam. The views are spectacular, and the best swimming spot on the lake is at the far side of the dam. This is a quiet and safe residential neighborhood. Our property is nestled amongst the trees and unnoticeable from the main road making it private and tranquil.

Fun girls trip

Easily accessible! Very clean!! The bedding was super cozy, thick blankets as well as lighter blankets to choose from! The bathroom was really nice, the shower head was amazing, it had nice pressure and different adjustments! The kitchen was fully equipped- expect the blender listed was missing and we had bought milkshake stuff for it, but it worked out perfectly with the whisk! The tv was nice as well! Beautiful property! I would come here again! Thank you!

Great place to curl up!

My partner and I went to the canyon Lake area to hit the water and do some hiking and although we got that done we did get rained out half our stay. However the amenities of the artistic cabin were amazing. We got to curl up and stay inside and it was the perfect place to do so while the rain poured outside behind us! It was such a a cute little home and such a nice place to stay.

Artistic Home

My bestie and I recently stayed at this charming artistic cabin and I cannot say enough good things about it! The cabin was beautifully decorated and had cozy furnishings that made us feel right at home. The quiet and peaceful surroundings were exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. Not to mention, the location was perfect - just a short drive away from Whitewater Amphitheater. This was a huge plus since we were attending a concert there. I will definitely be back to this cabin in the future. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and comfortable retreat. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Cozy New Years Stay

Made for a perfect new year’s retreat. We loved walking to the dam and going right outside our doors to see the night sky. Host was accommodating of an early check in and we appreciated all the small details like the lavender mist and filtered water. Great size for a couple’s retreat.

Cute, clean, relaxing

This was such a cozy space with great interior decorating and easy to understand design touches that always answered my questions. The check in process was easy and I actually never interfaced with the owners, only their cat who was so affectionate and friendly. Also a huge bonus in this heat was the AC which worked better than the one I have at home. Would stay here again!

the property all around was cute. the amenities are ok, bathroom is a bit too small. y washer but no dryer? good location. the instructions to get to the cabin seemed clear but the most important thing, cabin label was (not there) hard to see. I accidentally went in the wrong cabin and was there for like an hour I unpacked ate dinner then the owner comes and asks us to see our reservation. I was so embarrassed we had to pack all out stuff she asked if we had touched anything it was very weird. after that I did have questions but I didn't feel comfortable reaching out to the owner so we just kinda figured things out. after day 2 there was clear labels put on the driveways next to each cabin labeling them better late than never I guess

One Day Tripper

The home was really not hard to locate if you follow the Host instructions. The home was clean and spacious. I understand house rules must be in place but I felt like I was in boot camp with these house rules. I wish the house rules were included in the listing information. If you are looking to be secluded but cannot talk to anyone, this is your place. No television, no group gatherings or loud noises, no drinking, no talking to other people on property to say the least. If you bring a boat or SeaDoo, I do not know where you would be able to park it on the property, I did not see extra parking for boat trailers. No pets allowed but the owners and their families pets are running the property, weird to say the least. They should follow their rules. The private drive does need some maintenance, a lot of ruts in the driveway. Drive very slow

About the host

Hosted by Christen Wells

Host profile image
Hi, I am Jennifer, the owner (Christen is my awesome property manager!). I grew up in Ireland and have been living in Texas with my family for over 15 years. I absolutely love sharing the magic of our beautiful Hill Country property with guests coming from far and wide.

Why they chose this property

Canyon Lake is such an amazing place with so many wonderful things to do. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to live so close to the best swimming spot on the lake and also the spillway at the Canyon Lake Dam. Every night we walk from our home to the dam to watch the spectacular sunsets. The gorgeous and refreshing Guadalupe River is also just minutes from our home!

What makes this property unique

There is a healing energy on this land and almost every person who visits for a day or more comments on it. Even though we've built a small village of cute, creative, and elegant vacation homes (and private homes) on our land, we have managed to maintain the quiet, nurturing, and healing ambiance that touches so many people who stay here. We love this property and feel very lucky to share its magic with others.
